Abstract
War literature serves as a mirror reflecting both the historical realities of conflicts and the theoretical perspectives through which these events are interpreted. From classical epics like The Iliad and The Mahabharata to modern novels and poems, war literature has portrayed heroism, suffering, moral dilemmas, and the psychological impact of warfare. Theoretical frameworks such as realism, modernism, and postmodernism influence the depiction of battles, soldiers, and civilians, shaping the readers’ understanding of war. Historically, literature has not only recorded events but also shaped national identity, social consciousness, and ethical reflection. By examining both theoretical and historical foundations, war literature can be understood as a complex medium that bridges human experience, societal values, and collective memory, offering insights into the enduring consequences of conflict.
